Unilever's India arm posts higher quarterly profit on rural demand recovery

(Reuters) -Indian consumer goods maker Hindustan Unilever reported a nearly 8% increase in quarterly profit on Thursday, lifted by an ongoing recovery in rural markets. The Indian unit of UK's Unilever, home to the Dove and Surf Excel brands, said its profit rose to 27.32 billion rupees ($311.8 million) for the first quarter ended June 30, from 25.38 billion rupees a year earlier. Rural areas, which account for just over a third of overall consumer goods sales, have become a bright spot for an industry that is struggling with higher living costs and slow wage growth in large cities. For Hindustan Unilever, revenue climbed 4% to 157.47 billion rupees, helped by growth in its home care as well as beauty and wellness businesses. Shares in Hindustan Unilever were up marginally after the results.

Equities also declined, with the NSE Nifty 50 Index falling as much as 0.9%.
